Typical fluctuations. I actually weighed in at 120.6 yesterday. It looks like we are officially back in my 119-121 lb. weight range. This is the sweet spot I was hanging out at when took on full time care-taking duties for my mom less than 2 years ago. I'm definitely doing more part-time duties as she continues to heal and gain her stamina so I 'think' the 118 range has passed, which is okay with me. I really like the 119-121 lb. weight range. I like the way my physique looks and the muscle coming through in both upper and lower body is really looking nice. I have to chuckle a little at the comment that was made a few posts about the before and after pics of my weight loss journey with regards to looking too thin. It's appropriate to confess here that the "after" pic was actually taken a year ago post 70.3 so of course I looked very lean. I was just too lazy to grab a recent photo. I'm actually leaner now in this pic than in that "after" pic and I weigh 3 lb's less in this pic. I've even lost 1/2 an inch in the waist and a whole inch in the hips. But, I look thicker and bulkier now because I've increased muscle mass everywhere. Word to the wise - one has to pull back on strength training during triathlons. It doesn't have to be eradicated altogether. In fact, it's important to keep some of it in. But, it becomes more supplemental to endurance training than primary if that makes sense? So, of course there was some loss in muscle mass in the upper body after the half iron man. Which is why, I look thinner in that pic even though I weigh less now than I did then. Anyhow, here's a more true to life recent pic. And, I'm pretty sure the first thought wouldn't be "she's to thin". My guess is it would be, "oh, look there goes one of those gym rats!" LOL Just goes to show image does not tell the whole story. And, yes I LOVE LOVE LOVE my muscular look. So, no complaints here :-) Have a beautiful blessed day, everyone.

Thank you, MM2 and sk! Those muscles have put in a lot of work this year outside the gym, lemme tell ya. Between cooking, cleaning, laundry, yard work, mowing lawns, blowing leaves, changing bandages, wrapping injured limbs, cleaning porti-potties, changing bed sheets, putting together wheelchairs and taking them apart, cutting up boxes for recycling, and lets not forget running after Billy Flynn (my kitty)- these muscles have rarely had time to stop and think about being sexy for the past 2 years. But, rest assured they feel quite blessed and flattered at the compliment. And, as long as I can use this strength to be of service to the divine in whatever way I'm needed - I'm going to keep going and continue lifting :-) {{Big Hugz}}

Keep doing your best health. You rocking it. Ignore the haters,I don't see how they could say that. You look healthy and well. Hope your mom gets back to herself again. Aging is tough so I'm glad she has you as a strong (quite literally ) support system.

Thank you, all very much! I cannot emphasize enough how much both my strength and endurance came in handy the past 2 years. My mother has been through 3 different joint replacements, a fractured hip and wrist, and a mild heart attack too boot. And, every ounce of that muscle and my pension for endurance came in handy during this time. Not to mention the mental fortitude required for the all the tasks at hand. For me, this muscle is not about physique (although, I'm okay with that too), it really is having the ability to tap this body's resources in whatever why I can to provide the best healing environment for the beautiful being that brought me into this world in tandem with trying to ensure my own health and well being remain stable. Nothing felt more gratifying to me when she fainted in my arms after having fell and fractured her wrist and hip and I not only caught her, but was able to lay her gently on the ground so she would not break anything else. That's lat and tricep power by the way :-) Likewise, nothing felt more rewarding than to know I took the same strength to wrap her wrist up firm enough so that it remained stable before a cast was put on so unlike others, she did not have to endure yet another surgery and the bone could heal on its own. Outside of anyone I might impress, the knowledge that this body has help to serve and heal means the most to me...and there really aren't enough words of gratitude to express how thankful I am to God for that ability. And, thank you all so much for your support and encouragement over the past 2 years as well. As a care giver I can honestly say you will never know how much it was so appreciated especially when there were times I thought the well ran dry, but I was able to muster a little more in me to keep going.

@Kenna - The third person voice is actually a part of Buddhist practice. In fact, it is the first Dharmic lesson 'one' learns. In Buddhism, all is 'one', and 'one' is all. To write from that space implies this mind is willing to relinquish an "us" vs. "them" mentality or a position that implies seperate-ness. Third person dialect allows for more inclusiveness and seeks to come from a space of universal awareness. But, it's okay Kenna - this egoic X-gener mind is often amused by your approach to the obesity epidemic. From this social psychologist's perspective with 25 years of field experience, it's on par with a snake eating its own tail, LOL, LMAO!!! But, as we like to say in my gen "you go with your bad self!" :-)
